Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host-Specificity and Threats. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSpecies interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Another piece of the puzzle: analysis of Acanthocheilonema spirocauda larvae from its presumed intermediate host the seal louse (Echinophthirius horridus) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe transmission of the seal heartworm Acanthocheilonema spirocauda (Nematoda: Filarioidea) by the haematophagous seal louse Echinophthirius horridus (Anoplura: Echinophthiriidae) has been proposed for many decades, and several studies based on ...

Identification and Molecular Characterization of Spirurid Nematode Associated With Giraffe Skin Disease in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania. [PDF]
Vet Med IntGiraffe skin disease (GSD) is an emerging skin condition mainly affecting adult and subadult populations of free‐ranging giraffe, including Masai giraffe (Giraffa tippelskirchi) in the southern and northern protected areas (PAs) in Tanzania. Even though GSD has been described in Tanzania, the specific involvement of the spirurid nematode as the ...

Detection and phylogenetic analysis of blood-associated pathogens from spleen samples of wild raccoons (Procyon lotor) in Germany [PDF]
Scientific ReportsRaccoons (Procyon lotor) originated in North America and have been introduced to Europe. Due to their close contact with human settlements, they are important reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens, such as Baylisascaris procyonis.
